NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND SET TO BATTLE
After all the hype, all the interviews, and all the analysis the biggest game of the year is set to kickoff. The New York Giants and New England Patriots will clash in Super Bowl XLII this Sunday at 3:17PM PST. According to Jay Kornegay, the Patriots remain the heavy favorite despite most of the early action setting in on the Giants. New England opened a 14 point favorite and has been bet down to 12. With most of the betting action coming in the last couple of days before game time, bookmakers expect to see Patriot money to balance the books out. The Las Vegas Hilton SuperBook has posted approximately 350 propositions on the game and they expect record amounts of “action” this coming weekend.
